RIDGECREST — The Burroughs boys soccer team is getting close to breaking through with wins.

The Burros lost to Antelope Valley 1-0 Tuesday in Sherman E. Burroughs Stadium.

"It was a good game, considering what the score last year was against these guys," BHS Coach Sean Waldron said. "After getting beat by Oak Hills pretty badly, we wanted to concentrate on the defensive side of the ball. I think we have gotten more organized back there so the next step for us is possessing the ball for longer periods of time."

Waldron said Shawn Prescott is the Burros' defensive leader and Dominic Crescencio has been great in the midfield. Both are captains for the team this year. Waldron went on to say his goalie Zachary Cordes also played well in stopping the Antelope Valley offensive attack when the Antelopes had opportunities to score.

The Burros also had other standouts in the game with Aiden Heflin and Ramiro Cuara playing well as defensive stoppers. Jeff Sutton and Patrick Cuara solidified the midfield and Ernesto Gonzalez attacked as much as he could for the team.

The Burros move on to play Tehachapi today at 4:30 p.m. at Sherman E. Burroughs Stadium.
